A youth aged 17 has been arrested in connection with a house fire that killed
a five-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy.

The youngsters died after the fire — which police described as suspicious —
ripped through the property in Buxton, Derbyshire.

The mother of the children, named locally as Fiona Adams, 23, escaped from a
first-floor window of the property with her eight-month-old baby by jumping
onto a trampoline in the garden.

They were both in hospital last night having suffered severe burns. The
children were named by locals as Niamh, 5, and Cayden, 2.

Assistant Chief Constable Steve Cotterill of Derbyshire police said officers
had been called to the house after reports of noise and nuisance in the
garden on Friday night.

He said nothing was found when officers arrived but an hour later the fire
broke out, trapping the family.
